Internet Explorer Team Pays Out $28,000 For Security Exploits

You may recall a few months back we reported on a new bounty program from the Internet Explorer team that offered cash rewards for finding security exploits. The program has been successful and Microsoft has paid out over $28,000 to individuals who found and reported these exploits to the team. Interestingly enough some submissions were from Google engineers, but the money was donated to charity in those cases. Google does have a similar program for Chrome, and these type of programs do help create a more secure browser for all users.
